Ellsworth, IA

After evaluating the Tax Assistance Day in Ellsworth, it was decided that it should be offered each year. Most preferred a later date…perhaps in March.

Concerned citizens attended the recent City Council meeting to give voice to a concern about a proposed change in responsibility of who pays for what if there is a water break or leak in household water systems. In light of the poverty level in our community, it was felt that making citizens responsible for what has been the city’s responsibility made no good sense. The city then clarified their plans and no changes were made. It is good to have a voice…but so much better to use our voices together.
